Before you apply

Register once and it lasts. The Board use a permanent registration, and anyone who has registered for a tertiary grant since 2012 logs in rather than registering again. Do it before a round opens rather than during.

It is not fully online, and this is where people come unstuck. You complete the online form, then go back to your profile page to print a cover sheet and a whakapapa sheet. The whakapapa sheet must be verified and signed as the instructions on it require, and must clearly show your connection. Those printed documents and every attachment on the cover sheet checklist have to reach the Secretary’s office by the closing date — not just the online form. Allow for the post.

The Endowment was established in 1880 as a free gift by the people of Ngāti Whakaue for secondary education in Rotorua. It is a statutory board with charitable status.
